1. There are four major groups of diseases which occur in living organisms. Pathogenic diseases are caused by ‘disease causing agents’ called pathogens, such as a virus, bacterium or fungus. Deficiency diseases are caused by a lack of some particular nutrient in one’s diet. Physiological diseases are diseases in which the organs or systems in the body malfunction, due to one’s lifestyle or it may be inherited. Hereditary diseases are diseases or disorders which are inherited genetically.
